4. AUTHORIZATION TO USE THE SERVICES; RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPERVISION.

4.1. Account Setup. Subscriber represents and warrants to Skycasters that Subscriber is a properly organized educational or government entity or business and that the party executing the Order Form is at least 18 years old and is authorized to execute the same on behalf of Subscriber. Notwithstanding any acknowledgment of a Subscriber’s purchase order by Skycasters, the parties agree that any provision or condition in any purchase order, voucher, or other memorandum drafted by Subscriber which is inconsistent with this Agreement, an exhibit hereto, the Order Form, or the Website is invalid.

4.2. Multiple Uses of Account, Access Policy. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, any exhibit hereto, the Order Form, or the Website, Subscriber and its employees are permitted to use the Services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from the Subscriber’s installation address. Notwithstanding, Subscriber must not sell, resell, rent, lease or otherwise share the Services with any third party without the prior written consent of Skycasters. Subscriber must not attach the Services to any “open” or public wireless or other public connection-sharing technology. The Services are not to be used as a back-haul for any ISP type of use. The Skycasters bandwidth is provided on a shared, as available, basis and the Skycasters network is configured to provide an acceptable business-grade level of service to all customers. Skycasters will not allow a small fraction of its users to monopolize the network to the detriment of other users. The following rights are in addition to any rights Skycasters may have to limit throughput in the Customer Order Form. Skycasters reserves the right to limit the available speed or amount of throughput available to any customer, including Subscriber, who exceeds a 90% utilization threshold. Skycasters reserves the right to limit, when necessary, the use of the network and/or Services by the users who are in the highest 10% of network bandwidth consumption in order to keep their usage patterns from negatively affecting other users. There is no set daily, weekly or monthly throughput allowance other than as described above.

4.3. Subscriber Responsibility. Subscriber shall be responsible for all access to the Services through Subscriber’s account or password(s), whether or not authorized by Subscriber, and for any and all fees and expenses incurred for the Services. Subscriber will limit use of its account to its employees. Subscriber acknowledges that areas accessible on or through the Services may contain material that is unsuitable for minors (persons under 18 years old) and agrees to supervise minors’ use of the Services through Subscriber’s account. Subscriber hereby ratifies and confirms any actions taken, obligations incurred, or any promises or permissions made by a minor using Subscriber’s account.

5. FEES AND PAYMENT.

5.1. Fees, Taxes and Other Charges. Subscriber will pay to Skycasters, in accordance with the provisions of the Order Form and its associated price schedules, any registration or monthly fees, support fees, software or hardware upgrades, connect time charges, ISP service charges, minimum charges, termination fees, all applicable taxes and other amounts charged to or incurred by Subscriber, or users of Subscriber’s account, whether authorized or unauthorized, at the rates in effect for the billing period in which those amounts are charged or incurred. Additional terms relating to pricing, billing, and payment and which are incorporated into this Agreement are set forth in Skycasters’ Order Form and on the Website.

5.2. Payment. Skycasters will make available to Subscriber an email and online statement for each billing cycle showing payments, credit purchases and other charges. A paper invoice is available to be sent through the U.S. mail for an additional charge. Payment for the Services is “in advance” and must be received by Skycasters on or before the first day of the subsequent 30-day billing period (the “Due Date”), except that any overage charges for Services used in excess of Subscriber’s plan will be billed during the month immediately following the overage. All fees, charges and payment obligations of Subscriber must be paid in U.S. dollars. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that if payment is not received by Skycasters by the Due Date, Skycasters will charge Subscriber a late fee of $15.00 plus interest on the delinquent balance at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, prorated on a daily basis. In its sole discretion, Skycasters may, but is not required to, accept partial payments from Subscribers. If Skycasters has consented in writing to receive partial payments from Subscriber, such partial payments will be applied to Subscriber’s account beginning with the oldest outstanding statement. Skycasters’ acceptance of any partial payment from Subscriber will not constitute an accord and satisfaction, as defined by Ohio law, of Subscriber’s obligations under the Agreement, nor a waiver of any other obligations of Subscriber under this Agreement or the Terms of Use. Skycasters also reserves the right to suspend or inactivate Subscriber’s access to the Services for non-payment. Subscriber consents to any service fees charged by Skycasters for all returned checks and bank card and charge card charge backs (the “Service Fee”). The current Service Fee is $25.00 per returned check or charge back, but may be revised from time to time. Any changes to the Service Fee will be posted on the Website. If Subscriber’s check is returned to Skycasters, or a bank card or credit card charge charged back, Subscriber agrees to immediately submit to Skycasters a money order or cashiers check in the amount of the returned check or charge back, plus the Service Fee.

5.3. Billing Correspondence. Upon commencement of the Services, Subscriber will designate an E-MAIL Correspondence address, which is the address to which Skycasters will send billing or other important notifications. Such designation must be made by submitting the appropriate e-mail address to billing@Skycasters.com. Until such time as Subscriber designates such address, Subscriber will be responsible for checking its account online for billing or other information. Subscriber can access its online account through the Customer Support section of the Website.

5.4. Commencement and Duration of Subscription Fees. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that a monthly subscription fee (the “Fee”) will be charged to Subscriber for each and every month, or any part thereof, in which Subscriber is a subscriber to the Services, irrespective of whether the Subscriber has access to the Services due to any suspension for non-payment and irrespective of whether Subscriber has installed, or had someone else install, the equipment necessary to receive the Services. The Fee will be charged to Subscriber’s account each month until Subscriber terminates its subscription in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Order Form.

5.5. Termination Fee. If the Services are terminated for any reason during the Initial Term of the contract, Subscriber agrees to pay to Skycasters a Termination Fee according to the following schedule:

For Contracts with an Initial Term of 12 months:

If terminated within the first 12 months, the termination fee will be $1,000.

Note: This termination fee is in addition to any amounts paid in consideration for entering into a 12-month agreement.

For Contracts with an Initial Term of 24 months:

If terminated within the first 12 months, the termination fee will be $2,000.

If terminated after the first 12 months, but within the first 24 months, the termination fee will be $1,000.

Note: This termination fee is in addition to any amounts paid in consideration for entering into a 24-month agreement.

For Contracts with an Initial Term of 36 months:

If terminated within the first 12 months, the termination fee will be $2,000.

If terminated after the first 12 months, but within the first 24 months, the termination fee will be $1,500.

If terminated after the first 24 months, but within the first 36 months, the termination fee will be $1,000.

Notwithstanding the above, Subscriber may return the modem and radio to Skycasters (collectively, the “Modem”) that are part of the satellite equipment previously acquired from Skycasters for a credit of up to $500 towards the above-referenced Termination Fee, except if termination occurs within the first year in which case the credit will be up to $600. The credit described herein for the returned Modem will only be available if the returned Modem is in normal working order, and Subscriber must pay the shipping expense. If Subscriber elects to return the Modem to Skycasters for a credit during the first year, Subscriber must pay the remaining Termination Fee to Skycasters within 10 days. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Modem credit provisions described herein represent the anticipated fair market value of such property at the time of termination. The Termination Fee is in addition to any other fees which may be due Skycasters.

5.6. Collection Costs; Credit Reporting Agency. If Skycasters uses a collection agency or attorney to collect money owed to Skycasters by Subscriber under the Agreement, or in the event Skycasters uses an attorney to enforce any provision of this Agreement against Subscriber, Subscriber will pay the reasonable costs associated with the enforcement of this Agreement by Skycasters against Subscriber including, without limitation, any and all collection costs, court costs and attorney fees. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction holds that Subscriber has not breached the Agreement, this Section 5.6 will not apply. If Subscriber makes a late payment or fails to pay any Skycasters online, email or paper invoice, Subscriber understands and agrees that Skycasters may, in its sole discretion, report such late payment or nonpayment to the appropriate credit reporting agencies.

5.7. Reactivation. If Skycasters deactivates a Subscriber’s access to the Services for Subscriber’s failure to make timely payment, or for any other reason, Skycasters reserves the right to require a deposit or advance payment before reactivating the Services, in addition to Skycasters’ current reactivation fee. In addition, Skycasters will not reactivate the Services until Subscriber has paid to Skycasters any and all outstanding balances.

5.8. Ancillary Equipment, Services. Subscriber will obtain, maintain, and operate suitable and fully compatible terminal equipment and communication devices to access the Services, as stipulated by Skycasters on the Web Site, or otherwise, from time to time including, without limitation, the Modem.

With respect to any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, any exhibit attached hereto, the Order Form, the Website and/or the Services, Subscriber and Skycasters agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Summit County, Ohio or any federal court located within the Northern District of Ohio, and Subscriber waives any objection based on forum non conveniens or venue with respect to such jurisdiction in Ohio.

Neither the Uniform Commercial Code nor The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods apply to this Agreement and it is acknowledged that this is a service contract and not a contract for the sale of goods.

The provisions of Sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, and all other provisions hereof which by their nature should continue, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

23. MISCELLANEOUS.

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that iDirect® is a third party beneficiary to this Agreement. Where notification by Skycasters is contemplated by or related to this Agreement, notice may be made by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, e-mail or publication on the Web Site. If any term of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be construed in such a way as to eliminate the offending aspects while still giving as much effect as possible to the intentions of such term. If this cannot be done and the entire term is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable and cannot be so repaired, then the term will be considered to be stricken from this Agreement as if it had not been included from the beginning. In any such case, the balance of this Agreement will remain in effect in accordance with its remaining terms notwithstanding such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable term. Skycasters may enforce or decline to enforce any or all of the terms of this Subscriber Agreement in its sole discretion. Skycasters’ election not to enforce a particular provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver and will not impair Skycasters’ ability to enforce any other provision of this Agreement. In no event will Skycasters be required to explain, comment on, suffer liability for, or forfeit any right or discretion based on its enforcement, non-enforcement, or consistency of enforcement of these terms. Captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be considered a part of this Agreement or be used to construe its terms or meaning. Subscriber agrees that this Subscriber Agreement is set forth in the English language for the mutual convenience and benefit of the parties. In the event that the Agreement is translated into any language other than English, the parties agree that the English language version will control over any translation.
